Finch Gets SFI Certification

Finch Paper has received chain-of-custody (CoC) certification from the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). Chain-of-custody certification means a company has a tracking system in place that identifies the amount of certified, uncertified and recycled content in the forest products it buys, uses or sells.

“Our customers appreciate knowing that we have managed the same lands on a sustainable basis for almost 100 years,” says Mike Bean, national sales manager.

“They also admire the fact that The Nature Conservancy, which purchased 161,000 acres from Finch in 2007, chose our foresters to continue to manage the lands. Using the SFI label is one way our customers can show their commitment within the supply chain,” Bean continued.

Finch Paper’s SFI certification audit was conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers. Finch Paper has earned SFI’s Forest Management certification.
